The Gap is a dimension-shifting psychological thriller that depicts deja vu in the most unsettling light

Earlier today, BioWare revealed a new 30 second trailer for Mass Effect 5 on the occasion of N7 Day, leading fans to once again don their detective hats as they comb the new footage for fresh info.

In the world ofThe Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap,the people of Hyrule live side by side with a hidden race of miniature beings called the Minish. Although some Hylians have heard tales of these tiny, gnome-like forest dwellers, few have seen them. When asked about his prior knowledge of the Minish, Link admits he’s never heard of them. “That’s so strange,” one Minish muses. “We Minish are all over the place!” Overlooked and forgotten, these little guys reflect the larger place of The Minish Cap itself in the Legend of Zelda pantheon. It’s an overlooked Zelda game bursting with charm, replete with clever puzzles, and a firm grip on excellent pacing. It’s an underrated gem of the Legend of Zelda series.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 finally went official a couple of hours ago, and it was one of the first mobile SoCs to feature only performance cores, meaning that there were no efficiency cores on the chipset. In addition to that, the chipset also featured a race-to-idle concept, meaning that it would work at full speed to handle smaller tasks rather than working at a lower speed and taking a longer time.

Opinions vary on whether 2005's Boiling Point: Road To Hell was ever, could ever have been, a good game. What's clear is that it was interesting, both as an early example of an open-world RPG and as an infamously broken example of Eurojank. Now it's getting a re-release in just ten days and I'm fascinated to know whether a Boiling Point with fewer bugs has anything to offer the world in 2023.

Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but several retailers have already begun rolling out some excellent deals worth checking out this weekend. For example, our top deal this weekend is the inaugural discount on the Asus ROG Ally, knocking $80 off the speedy handheld PC at Best Buy. Some other noteworthy deals include a pair of Humble bundles, a sizeable discount on the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, and some personal favorites from my board game library.

The Bikeriders director Jeff Nichols knows star power when he sees it. And when he met Austin Butler for the first time, he definitely saw it. 

The first trailer for Marvel Studios’ Echo is full of surprises. It’s shockingly violent, as we watch Kingpin beat a man half to death, and see his adoptive daughter Maya Lopez (the eponymous Echo) throwing savage blows and snapping the necks of street-level scum. There’s even a very brief Daredevil cameo. (OK, that last part is not really a surprise; we knew that Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio would return as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, respectively, for Echo.)

Baldur's Gate 3 finally lets you wash yourself, and your party members, with sponges and soap.

An enterprising Final Fantasy 14 fan has set out to complete the MMO’s story content using only a party of healers, with additional rules thrown in to make the task more difficult. They were quickly made to regret the decision. 

October 28 marked 20 years of the Call of Duty series, as part of which some of the key designers  have been talking about the greatest moments. The foundation for its overwhelming success, however, will always be original developer Infinity Ward, in particular the leap forward the studio made with the Modern Warfare series. It delivered an unforgettable and oft-controversial singleplayer campaign reflecting one view of contemporary geopolitics, alongside a best-in-class multiplayer experience that the wider series has followed ever since.

Speedrunning is a catch-all term that, as games themselves have grown in audience and scale, now applies to everything from fastest completion times on 2D platformers to slightly unhinged self-imposed challenges with any game going. This Fallout 4 speedrun certainly falls into the latter category, to the extent you may find yourself wondering how the heroic Vrexia ever came up with the idea in the first place.

Baldur's Gate 3 voice actor Scott Joseph's depiction of the Mindflayer Emperor brought to life one of the most disturbing romance scenes in the game. The disturbing descriptor here is really saying something, considering you can make love to a literal bear in Baldur's Gate 3.
